the videos was for plotting...
got to Silent hunter 5/menu/gui and rename PlasticTexture.dds to PlasticTexture.Back and if u don't like how its look then u can change it back to PlasticTexture.dds

Thank you for the videos and the heads-up on the *.dds files. I was able to make other changes to my liking too. Another mod I would be interested in would be more grid lines on the map and the corresponding lat/lon numbers on the four sides. Is this available?

Why don’t you have the Lat/Lon on your map? Give us a screen shot!

There are lat/lon grid lines (very faint) at the whole degrees, but there is nothing finer when the map is zoomed which makes precision and accuracy difficult. I will try to post a screenie soon.

If you’re just looking for finer positions on the map, just use your nautical chart. Press E on your keyboard, and look for nautical chart.

There are no mods that give minutes. You use the nautical chart to get minutes. My video shows the nautical chart I’m talking about.
